Well I would put it in the megathread if it was actually read.

Agreed. Resurrect should ONLY be an ultimate. There were so many things they could have done to prevent sh!t Mercy players from hiding the second they got it.

  • LOS requirement, and a wall-check so she can’t Rez behind walls.
  • Add a cast time, OR slow her down. Not both.
  • Exchange invulnerability with damage reduction like Hog’s “Take a Breather” for the “counterplay”.
  • Increase Resurrect’s charge time, and have it decay if a Mercy player tries to hide instead of healing her teammates.

There are other ideas in the dumpster thread. But seriously, we could have avoided 6 months of Mercywatch if they bothered to listen to us.

Can you blame them?
They have already given a statement on Mercy, you just don’t like it.
No matter what they say, they can’t win.

The only argument you have is that she id"unfun" to an unknown percentage of the playerbase. If we go by the megathread, you are a tiny minority.

They made a statement that confirmed they are not reading the megathread therefor lying and rendering it useless. There is no reason for us to post there, so we won’t. Even if they made a statement, people who are upset are not just going to stop criticizing their garbage rework.

Omg just stop I absoutely HATE with a passion when people use this a reason why “They Might Revert Mercy !!” they said no like 7 times, Jeff said they won’t revert her many many many times.

Stop asking for a revert and start asking for a rework. Maybe the Devs would listen to rework suggestions if you stopped begging for mass rez to come back after they said no.

Of course a Mercy main would make a post like this.

Mass res is not coming back fam, let it go.

Most the wider community think Mercy is fine and balanced now. Either accept Mercy as she is or pick a new hero.

This is beyond getting old now…

“Having to work for it” isn’t the end-all be-all of good design. Resurrection as an ability is predominantly useful against one or two targets. Its original design led to it sitting unused waiting for that play of the game which never came the majority of the time. It was a “balance of extremes” at its worst, as far as I’m concerned.

As to the notion that “it’ll never be balanced” - it already is. It makes Mercy very vulnerable while casting it, and typically leads to untimely death. For an ability on such a long cooldown, it’s very easy to waste. Just because you don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s not “balanced.”

I want to point out one thing. I think Mercy mains know one of two things is coming.

Most likely, we will be nerfed…again

10649

Because you still outshine the other main healers for multiple reasons (some of those being the other healers are UP)

10650

They always nerf the wrong thing. Most likely it will be the healing or the health.

Ana needs more than help and Moira needs that bug to become a feature and for her healing to regen a little faster. Overall, they need to become more reliable

10651

I think the massive Rez should come back, granted, it only heals them to 50% of their health.

I am fine with that. If mass res comes back, Mercy will be worse than she is currently. Her being worse will make the other healers seem better.

Also, would that health give you ult charge or no? I am guessing no because she could almost charge another res off of that

10653

I’m saying revert every change to a good and balanced mercy, however, nerf the charge rate on her resurrection and when it casts, allow her to only resurrect the radius at 50% of their health.

10654

let me make this clear.

I’m not for mass rez coming back.

I’m not for rez at all.

The Mega thread is bull**** players should not be treated this way.

It doesnt matter what we all think.

Players shouldnt be treated that way

as a matter of fact…megathreads shouldnt happen
